Pickleball has been a lifesaver! After retirement, I felt sluggish and missed the social interaction from my teaching days. Diane’s classes are fantastic – she’s a patient instructor who creates a fun and welcoming atmosphere. Now, I not only have more energy, but I’ve made incredible friends playing Pickleball every week. Grazie Diane!

As a busy entrepreneur, I barely had time for exercise. Pickleball with Diane changed that! It’s a fantastic workout that doesn’t feel like a chore. Plus, the social aspect is amazing. Diane’s coaching helped me improve my game quickly, and now I even compete in local tournaments. I highly recommend her!

After knee surgery, I thought my active days were over. But Diane introduced me to Pickleball, and it’s been incredible! It’s low-impact yet challenging, and I’ve regained a lot of my mobility. Pickleball has become a regular activity for me and my wife – a fun way to stay healthy together.

Grazie mille, Diane!

As a PT, I recommend Pickleball to many of my patients. It’s a fantastic exercise that improves coordination, balance, and flexibility. Diane’s instruction is top-notch. She focuses on proper technique to prevent injuries and helps players of all levels improve their game. My patients love her classes!”

Pickleball is the perfect sport for us retirees!

Meeting Diane was one of the best things that could’ve ever happened to me. She is one of the nicest coaches I’ve ever worked with. That’s to say she’s not so nice when it comes to her spikes! ;D She is a total rockstar on and off the court.

This game is one I plan to play for the rest of my life. And the connection I made with Diane is one that will last a lifetime. <3”

Thank you!

Having never played the sport I was unsure of what to expect.  I arrived at the courts and Diane was there with an interpreter in the middle of a lesson.

She greeted me and gave me a quick tutorial on some warm-up tasks I could work on while she finished the current lesson.

When it was my turn we began and worked out for a full 90 minutes.  Here are my impressions of the lesson::

-Diane was extremely knowledgeable about all the strategies and nuances that are part of the game. (I did not realize just how intricate and detailed pickleball played right can be).

-Diane worked with me on small lessons that built one upon the next that eventually led to playing both one-on-one and doubles pickleball, (with an Italian Gentlemen who was very good).

-Diande was very patient and described the lessons in a way that was easy to understand but also pointed out the why of each thing that we did.

-As I watched the first lesson and participated in mine it was clear that Diane was very comfortable working at any pace needed.

-Though I only ever had this one lesson I was very confident that I could return to the states and compete because of the knowledge and instruction that I had been given.

If you are a beginner or someone who wishes to go to the next level of pickleball, and are in Sicily, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND You take a lesson from Diane.  I feel she is very comfortable 

working with all ages and all levels of players.

Happy Pickling!!!  😃😃😃
